Group Work - Music Video (First Draft)

Today I and the rest of the group completed our music video and have it ready to show to the class tomorrow for reviews. This is only our first draft and over the Christmas break we will each be creating our own video to our own specifications rather than 'a group'. 

The editing was going really well and smoothly, everything was coming together well as I was familiar with the software through my research and mock work. We were about 2/3rds of the way through the editing and it all took a turn for the worst. I was editing a clip in time with the beat and in order to do this I had to lengthen a transition. When I clicked the transition and changed the length I did not realise that there was a checkbox next to it saying "apply to all transitions" therefore we went on to compete the rest of the video making everything click into place. Then when it came to exporting the clip, I played it back and then we realised the lip sync and timings were not as we originally had them. It took us about half an hour to realise what was actually the problem. Then we figured out it was the transitions they had all been set to 1 second rather than the original 0.5.

Once this issue was resolved we went back and fixed the transitions and then our video was back to the way we wanted it to be.

We our all very happy with our video especially for a first draft and can not wait until the rest of the class see it and pass on their reviews. I personally can not wait to hear what the class have to say and then go onto edit my own personal video exactly how I want it without input of the thee group members. I think doing this will be very beneficial to the group as we can then compare all our videos and piece over her what we like and tween up our original video with our own ideas. In order to produce the best music video we can. 

There is still a few things we need to alter such as timings, our final draft will be available on the both this blog and the group blog soon.
